1/32 Macchi C.202 "Folgore" Sand Air Filter
A four part set to super-detail the air intake sand filter for the 1/32 Italeri Macchi C.202 (and conceivably, the 21st Century and PCM kits.) Like the original, the filter cover is a separate item. This allows the element to be painted — and it is (just) visible through the openings. The kit photoetch flap can be used. (Note that the kit has the flap operating on the wrong axis — it should be on the horizontal, perpendicular to the cowling.)

Basic Assembly Schematic
Update 12/6/23
Due to reports of breakage from the first customers, the filter cover now ships clipped from supports on its own protective shoe. The modeler still may need to do some minor clean up.
